    Chapter 18

    I'm thrilled to hear this hit so many real notes. I imagined how it would happen, but wasn't aware of how common finding help in others they may not like comes into play. I didn't want to leave Alice in a state of victimhood, so spent a fair amount of time figuring out the most believable method of escape.
  2. Alice stared out the kitchen window at the disk of pale brightness in the night sky. She’d never paid much attention to the moon before, dismissing it as a meaningless icon, but living here, married to the pack alpha had changed her vantage point. She understood it’s significance, even if she still had questions. There were two full moons this month, one at the beginning and one at the end, and she had learned to hate them all. She rinsed the last dinner plate and set it in the strainer to d

    I couldn't resist the tea thing. With Jimmy having a Creole background it made sense to throw in a few other cultural preferences besides simply the food his maman taught him to make.

    Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress from here.

    I do work really hard to keep the story flowing. The last thing I want is for the read to drag and risk anyone losing interest.

    Unfortunately we need to move on. There's plenty more we need to get to while extending this scene might be fun, I couldn't figure out what narrative purpose it would serve to keep the story moving forward. Sacrificed must be made for our art.

    Thank you for reading! I needed Jimmy to make his position clear with being a total prick. I'm not sure I'd have had his restraint under the same circumstances.

    We've all met people who think they know best and rationalize reasons to treat people poorly. Maddie definitely falls into that category. It also looks like she has little practice with someone who she can't outright dominate. Hopefully the new experience does her some good.

    Jimmy and Maddie both have boundary issues with regards to Sawyer, but they each go about it in different ways. We'll see what happens in the future.

    I'm just afraid at some point one of you will get it right enough I won't be able to respond which will put me in serious spoiler territory. And I hate spoilers. You all get to analyze the story from week to week in a way an ebook reader usually wouldn't. It give this group a better chance to predict plot points than most people, so those comments I'm going to acknowledge and sit back with my popcorn while the crazy flies around in the discussion. LOL

    The fact is, she doesn't have to lose. It's just a fight that might not be worth winning for what it could do to her relationship with Sawyer. Let's hope she can learn.

    It was tricky not to have Jimmy get all righteous and try shaming her into non-existence, because in reality, people tend to dig in their heels and ignore the truth when you nuke them with their own failures.

    Thank you! I've been looking forward to this scene. I feel like we're getting into really interesting territory from here on out.

    I hope so too. Everyone stands to benefit.
  17. From the passenger seat, Sawyer pointed where their route veered off the paved road with a casual gesture. “Take this turn and follow the road for about a mile. Take a left at the big tree.” Jimmy spied Sawyer from the corner of his eye. “You give directions like an old country codger.” “We could have taken my car,” Sawyer said. “No.” Jimmy argued his truck would handle the unpaved roads to Sawyer’s mother’s house better than his efficient sedan and Sawyer had been somewhat sulki

    Not that I've seen, but I'll be sure to throw this on the top of reader theories.

    Me too. Everything has been following the outline pretty closely. Let's hope we don't veer off into the unknown.

    Sawyer is feeling a little rough by the end of this one.
